If you also want it to be highlighted on page load, there is a new way. 

just add `#:~:text=Highlight%20These`

try accessing this link in a new tab

[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38588721#:~:text=Highlight%20a%20text][1]

which highlights the "Highlight a text" text.

Also, currently only supported on Chrome (Thanks [GitGitBoom][2]).
